DJWA Strategies and Communications worked with Industry Canada to develop a comprehensive report on using telecommunications for us internally. They worked quickly and efficiently and came in on time and on budget. Their methodology I thought was appropriate for the task and the resulting report was on target. Good work! I would not have any hesitation in recommending them.

DJWA Strategies was engaged by the BC3 as Project Manager responsible for the planning and execution of all BC3 activities and initiatives for a two year period between 2004 and 2006. In this period DJWA Strategies was responsible to coordinate the strategic planning and policy development activities of the BC3, as well as the day to day management of the organization and its projects. This coordination process included gathering input and opinions from the membership and Board of the organization, aggregating this input into a strategy framework, and writing and publishing policy and planning documents for use by the BC3 and for input to government agencies such as Network BC, the CRTC, and Industry Canada. As a BC3 Board member I believe that DJWA Strategies was effective and skilled in this role, and I was pleased with the quality of the planning and policy development work performed.
